Oh, Nan!

Karol.

This is the same place we met last time.

Yes.

Have you been okay? What have
you been doing since I saw you?

Nothing much...

I, I see.

Oh, about your Monster Book...

I finally finished filling it with monsters!

Huh...?!

You managed to do a full ecological survey
of the world's monsters, something the
Hunting Blades couldn't even do...

Heh heh...
I guess I've just gotten
a little more skilled since
I left the Hunting Blades?

...

Didn't I tell you...not to report
all of this stuff to me?

Y-yeah. But since you were the
one who gave me the book...
I wanted you to know.

I see. Don't you and your friends have
an important mission to be doing?

...Yes, you're right.
I'm sorry.

Y-you don't have to apologize!

Huh?

Why did you hold onto
that book for so long?

It was blank!
It was useless!

I thought you'd never
be able to finish it!

Wh-what are you talking about, Nan?

...And then, before I knew it...
You overtook me...

Nan, cheer up!

Why would you want
to...care about me...

Nan...

Let's go to the inn to wait for him.

Oh, that's thoughtful of you, Yuri.

They're still just a couple of kids!

Love is ageless! ♪
Good luck, Karol! ♪

Ahh, young love...
How bittersweet!
